Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Ding Tian came to see Wang Zuo, entered the post station, went to the living room to drink tea, and then heard Wang Fugui's nagging, and knew that Wang Zuo was sick, greedy for cold, and had diarrhea, which is the common saying of stomach flu.

"I originally wanted to cool the prince down, but after eating for a day and a half, it won't work... Fever, stomach ache... I almost killed someone!" Wang Fugui blamed himself very much: "I won't dare to do it again next time." .”

The imperial doctor also said that the lord is greedy for coolness, but in the past two days, he drank bitter medicine juice and ate millet porridge, both of which were hot... no more ice cubes were allowed in the room.

Because of the heat, the prince has become more and more tempered these two days.

Sure enough, when Ding Tian went in to see him, a small plate flew out of it, and then a tall, fat and healthy cook ran out rolling and crawling.

Ding Tian: "...!!!"

Turning her head to look at Wang Fugui, she said to him with her eyes: Can I come back another day?

How could Wang Fugui let him "come another day"?

The prince's current temper is like a powder keg, no one can touch it, only Ding Tian is regarded by him as a savior, he pushes Ding Tian into the door with all his might, and reports loudly: "My lord, Prison Ding is here!"

That voice is loud!

As if the people inside couldn't hear you.

But he hid at the door and didn't go in. He said he was on guard, right?It's like eavesdropping...

Ding Tian was embarrassed when he came in.

This is the first time he entered Wang Zuo's bedroom. Even in the station's bedroom, Wang Zuo is also a prince-level figure. His bedroom is quite... what is luxury?What is luxury?This is a prince-level bedroom.

Super luxurious can't be overstated!

Because Ding Tian no longer knew what words to use to describe Wang Zuo's bedroom.

The three rooms are all connected, and the longitudinal direction is as deep as two rooms. The room is deep and the beams are high, so the room is naturally cool.

And as a "bedroom", there is a small house in the middle!

It was a super large and meticulously crafted Qiangong Babu bed, a Yong-style full-screen Qiangong Babu bed like a small house, and it was also a standard "eight-step bed", that is, from east to west, from east to west. From south to north, you can walk eight steps.

Its exquisite production and exquisite carving are really breathtaking.

There is a top cover on the top, a base on the bottom, and a screen around it. The rear screen can be opened... because it is open now, so that the wind outside the window can blow in.

This bed hanging surface is entirely made of red sandalwood.

Opera figures are inlaid with red sandalwood and ivory on the frieze, and the windows are shaped like plantain fans.

The color is bright, the color is red, magnificent, and the whole is full of contrasting beauty of line and surface, depth and light.The texture of the wood is delicate, the wood grain is beautiful, and you can smell a fragrant smell when you get close to it. This kind of wood can prevent corrosion and insects, and the whole bed has a mortise and tenon structure, which can be disassembled and assembled without a single nail...

The bed was hung with brocade bed surrounds, bed curtains, and all kinds of exquisitely embroidered little things...Wang Zuo was spread out on the bed, wearing snow-white, soft and breathable silk pajamas, with a large cool pillow woven with golden silk and bamboo leaning on his back, The bed was also covered with a thin silk mattress, with a soft ice silk mat on top.

In such a "room within a room" environment, there are two icebergs around, but they are far away from the bed, and there is another point. The icebergs are half the height of a person, and they are placed in a huge blue and white porcelain plate.

Whether it's ancient or modern, such a big blue and white porcelain plate...anyway, the big one that can hold two dingtians is very expensive.

In such a super luxurious bedroom, Wang Zuo looked unhappy.

Ding Tian walked into the doorway of this small wooden room like stepping on a landmine, stretched his neck and looked at Wang Zuo: "I heard that you are sick? I'll come over and have a look... Then what, I brought cold cakes made by my own dim sum shop, you Try it?"

"Come in!" Wang Zuo took a deep breath, "I'm just in a bad mood."

Ding Tian looked at his feet, took off his shoes, and then entered the eight-step bed.

Wang Zuo looked at his socks made of snow-white silk: "Your socks are not bad."

"These are the socks you wear in summer, the thick ones in winter!" Ding Tian showed off his socks

He discovered in ancient times that the "socks" of ancient people were called "foot clothes", and there was no distinction between left and right!

A cylindrical white cloth bag is wrapped around the feet before putting on the shoes.

And Ding Tian asked his two aunts to make him modern socks when he was on a business trip long after he traveled here.

After arriving here, I asked Mrs. Jin to help me make many pairs of socks.

Nowadays, people in Dingjia Village also wear such socks. No matter men or women, the first reason is that they are effective in keeping warm when it is cold.

Wang Zuo didn't wear anything on his feet and was lying on the bed with his bare feet. This posture should be comfortable, but he is not happy.

"Come, try the cold cake I brought." Ding Tian put the small kang table on the side on the bed, and opened the snacks he brought: "There is also mung bean cake, eat some cold cakes, don't be greedy for cold in the future, In fact, as a human being, a calm mind is naturally cool, with such an anxious mind like yours, even if you live in an ice cellar, it won't cool you much."

"Calm and cool naturally?" Wang Zuo savored this sentence carefully, five words.

Ding Tian brought out the cold cake, ate one by himself, and then showed it to Wang Zuoxian: "How is it? Is what I said level enough?"

"Proficient?" Wang Zuo also picked up a cold cake and took a bite: "Do you know what this sentence means?"

"How simple is it?" Ding Tian shook his head: "It's quiet in my heart, so I'm naturally cool? Don't be so hot in summer/="

"Do you know where this sentence came from?" Wang Zuo couldn't help teasing Ding Tian when he saw Ding Tian's behavior.

"This..." Ding Tian got stuck.

Wang Zuo laughed, and then told Ding Tian in a tone of educating the younger generation, "The mind is calm and cool naturally", which comes from a poem by Bai Juyi, who was known as the "Poem King" and "Poetry Demon" in the Tang Dynasty.

On a very hot day, Bai Juyi went to visit a Zen master named Heng Ji, and saw him sitting quietly in a stuffy room. Bai Juyi asked puzzledly: "Zen Master, it's so hot here!"Why not change places?Zen Master Hengji said: "I don't feel hot, it's even cool"!Bai Juyi was deeply moved, so he wrote a poem: "Everyone walks like a madman to avoid the summer heat, but only the Zen master does not stay in the room.

Later, Bai Juyi also wrote a poem "Cooling the Heat" which said: "Why do you want to cool off the heat? Sit upright in a courtyard. There is nothing long in front of you, and there is a cool breeze under the window. The heat dissipation comes from the calmness of the heart, and the coolness becomes the room empty. At this time, you can protect yourself. Difficulties are the same as others." His calm and natural mentality and practice are even more vividly expressed.

Ding Tian was in a great embarrassment, because when he heard this sentence, he was at work, in summer, and on that day, the air conditioner in the warden’s office broke down, and it was very hot in the office without air conditioning, so someone asked the warden Go to another office and sit for a while, wait for the air conditioner repairer to come and fix the air conditioner, and then come back.

As a result, the warden was looking at the information of some prisoners who were about to be released after serving their sentences. He didn't want to leave the office, so he told them: "

The mind is calm and cool naturally, so we all go out and come to fix the air conditioner in a while, and everything will be fine after it is fixed. "

He just remembered this sentence: calm and cool naturally.

Because he thinks what he said is quite reasonable hey!

But if you want to talk about the source, if you want to talk about Bai Juyi, the "King of Poems" who is famous in the Tang Dynasty through the ages, he remembers "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", because that poem was written by Yang Yuhuan, a beautiful woman... and "The Charcoal Seller" ", "Pipa Xing" and so on... When I was in school, the Chinese teacher asked me to recite one of the ancient poems.

What are the remaining anecdotes... There seems to be a movie about the story of Concubine Yang Gui, the cat demon and Bai Juyi?

I still remember the actress who played Concubine Yang, she was very beautiful...

"I'm not a Jinshi or master, how do I know so much?" Ding Tian thought for a while, but said confidently: "It's good to know that the mind is calm and cool."

He also made sense hey!

Wang Zuo was amused: "Well, you are good, very good, very good, okay?"

With Ding Tian making jokes, Wang Zuo was in a better mood. Yiqiao, at this time, Liu Wenbin came in and reported something: "My lord, the left servant from the official department in Beijing has been dismissed from office and ransacked his home. Waiting for further investigation, the final verdict depends on the number and severity of the crimes found in the final investigation."

"Turn it down for a while, give them a little wind, and then that person will probably start looking for someone." Wang Zuo said while eating cold cakes: "Go ahead and do it."

This was something that had been agreed a long time ago, there was nothing to discuss, so Liu Wenbin bowed down and went down.

He is a counselor, and it is natural for them to do this kind of secret thing.

Ding Tian held a ball of cold cake, and said a little depressed: "Is it appropriate for you to talk about things in front of me like this?"

From the initial fear to the current ignorance, Ding Tian thinks that he is too "approachable"?

Or is it that his weight is not enough, so there is no need to be on guard?

"You are not an outsider." Wang Zuo only gave him this answer.

Ding Tian's face was a little hot, Wang Zuo was surprised to see that Ding Tian's face turned red!

"Why are you blushing?" Wang Zuo was so surprised that he didn't even eat the cold cake.

"Am I blushing?" Ding Tian raised his hand to touch his face, he felt a little hot, and there is no mirror at the moment, so he can't see his face... What's more, in ancient times, bronze mirrors were used to illuminate people When it comes, it comes with a hazy beauty.

Can't really take pictures of people clearly.

"You're blushing." Wang Zuo nodded affirmatively.

"I...I'm hot!" Ding Tian said stiffly, "It's hot, your tea is a bit hot!"

After sitting down just now, someone brought tea to Ding Tian for hospitality. The tea was always hot, because the prince can't drink cold things, and the visitors naturally...wouldn't give cold drinks.

Wang Zuo just looked at Ding Tian for a few times, then lowered his head and continued to eat cold cakes: "You cook at noon, I want to eat noodles."

"Okay!" Ding Tian ate the cold cake in his hand: "You are taking medicine now, and you can't eat spicy food, so make a separate stew, some minced meat and egg stew."

Then he made an excuse to cook and ran to the small kitchen.

The small kitchen is a place where food is specially prepared for Wang Zuo to eat. It is different from the kitchen and the big kitchen. The people here are the most loyal to the prince.

The cook and the cook are a husband and wife, their eldest son is the captain of the prince's personal guard, the second son learns craftsmanship from them, and the daughter is in charge of needlework in the embroidery room of the palace.

But this time they have nothing to do with dinner.

Ding Tian was kneading and making noodles in a mess, and then he picked up what is there here?

There are a lot of fresh green vegetables, including a bundle of cowpea horns, which caught Ding Tian's attention. He chopped the bundle of cowpea horns, mixed them with minced meat, stir-fried them, added a little water, stewed them with soy sauce, and then mixed them with a little noodle soup. Go down, and the marinade of minced cowpea horn meat will be ready.

There are no other dishes, only some shredded cucumbers, mung bean sprouts blanched in boiling water, shredded green onions, and coriander segments, which are used for noodles

WEAT.

But Wang Zuo ate it very happily, and Ding Tian also ate two big bowls, and he was full. Ding Tian looked at the big sun outside, and really didn't want to leave, because this time period was the hottest time of the day .

And he was a little sleepy too... He yawned, his eyes were watery, which made Wang Zuo reluctant to let him go back under the scorching sun like this: "Take a nap here, anyway, there is nothing to do in the afternoon, and I will wait until the evening when it cools down." go back."

Ding Tian's eyes widened instantly, obviously a little surprised.

"...By the way, make me another dinner." Wang Zuotian said this.

"Oh... that's good!" Ding Tian's expression and heartbeat returned to normal. He must have been thinking wrong just now.

In fact, he really likes Wang Zuo's place, because it's 26 to [-] degrees outside, and his room is very cool, at least about three to five degrees lower than outside, which is the most comfortable temperature for human beings.
